Condition
This work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of wear and handling to the edges of the canvas and some surface abrasions throughout, particularly along the edges and at the bottom right. The graphite smudges are presumably inherent to the artist's working method and from the artist's hand. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Framed under Plexiglas.
